White Flag Emergency Shelter - NEW LOCATION
|
The Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana sponsors a White Flag Emergency Shelter for men, women, and families during inclement weather. All community members in need of a warm place to sleep are welcome. Adults over the age of 18 must show a state-issued I.D. Dinner, continental breakfast, and sack lunches are provided.
Due to the recommendation of the CDC, the emergency shelter will be implementing a hotel model on Monday, January 11th until the remainder of the season. The new location will be at the Hampton Inn Hotel, 411 W Spring St, New Albany, IN. Guests can get here by taking the TARC 71 Bus to stop D (State & Elm). Check-in is from 7PM to 10PM. You do not need to make a reservation to be admitted. The White Flag season is from Nov 15 - April 15. The shelter is open when temperatures are 35 degrees or below for four or more consecutive hours between 7PM and 7AM. Make sure to check our facebook page or call our White Flag hotline (812-913-5278) at 3:30pm each day to see if the shelter is open. For more information on White Flag, click here. |
UNDERSTANDING THE HOMELESSRoughly 250-300 people live on the streets, in tents and cars, emergency shelters, and transitional housing programs in Clark and Floyd Counties. Hundreds more stay with family or couch surf to avoid ending up on the street.
Each individual and family comes with their own story and their own challenges. Homelessness is temporary or transient for most, but some remain in shelter or on the streets for years, with no clear path to stable appropriate housing.

The Homeless Coalition of Southern Indiana seeks to build a community of collaboration. Through education, advocacy, and awareness, we want each member of the community to know they have a role to play.
|
We work with local government, organizations, businesses, and other volunteers to coordinate services to those homeless and at-risk.
Our power is in the strength of our relationships. Through collaboration and partnership with our community, we minimize the time an individual spends homeless. |
Our coalition also sponsors the White Flag Emergency Shelter for men, women, and families during inclement weather. All communities members in need of a warm place to sleep are welcome.
